Amazing backstage tour of Sun Studios - est. 1950 by Sam Phillips. Is known as the birthplace of Rock 'n' Roll.
Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash & B.B King all recorded here.
Above: Bass Pro Shop - an interesting place for all things hunting and fishing. Even had live Crocs enclosure.
The gun department just didn't sit right with me! All so cheap, could've gotten a pink taser for $50 or a Handgun for $250!!
Below Left: Awesome signs of Beale Street. B.B King Blues club was my favourite! Such amazing musicians.
Below Middle & Right: Lorraine Motel - where Martin Luther King was assassinated on April 4, 1968
This location is now the National Civil Rights Museum - something MLK was very passionate about.
GRACELAND - The Home of the King himself, Elvis Presley
I wasn't quite sure what to expect at Graceland - but loved it!
The tour of the mansion is very well done and put together. Whilst we don't get to see the whole house (it's still used sometimes by
Lisa Marie) it gives a glimpse into what their life was like here!
The decor is eclectic to say the least, with pleated fabric on walls and ceiling to match the couch for the games room to the Jungle
room having green shag pile carpet on the floor, walls & ceiling. (didn't get a good image of this unfortunately.
The gravesites of Elvis, his mother, father & grandmother.
We visited Graceland during Elvis week, it was the 41 year anniversary of his death.
What a car collection he had!! That MG - yes please!! Amazing costumes too
